Abyss Game: I am covered with cheats

Not far after running, Xu Tong stopped.

Mainly because he was carrying a Karen, it was a bit difficult to run too far.

He glanced at the sky; dusk had passed, and dawn was breaking. This night of bloody rain was finally coming to an end.

"Hoo…" Exhaling a long breath, Xu Tong dropped Karen to the ground and helped him up in a more energy-efficient way, asking, "Those cleansing troops, they shouldn't be active during the day, right?"

Karen shook his head. "The cleansing troops only operate at night. Although I don't know why, Happy Town is absolutely safe during the day. I can guarantee that."

"Alright."

Supporting Karen, Xu Tong led him all the way back to Dr. Bruce's clinic.

He knocked on the door, and Dr. Bruce's voice came from behind it.

"Th-that one?"

Xu Tong replied, "It's me. Open the door quickly; I brought Karen back."

Seemingly having seen Xu Tong's face through the peephole, Dr. Bruce's voice trembled slightly. "How… how can I be sure you're not a Pseudo?"

"What Pseudo knocks on doors during the day? How about this," Xu Tong took out the small screen Karen had given him and started playing the colorful images on it in front of his own eyes. "Now, can I prove that I'm a normal person?"

"Okay… alright," Dr. Bruce seemed very convinced by this result and opened the door. "Come, come in."

"Wait, before going in, you look at this thing too." Xu Tong picked up the screen and played the content in front of Dr. Bruce's eyes.

Dr. Bruce looked at the short video playing on the screen with a puzzled gaze, not showing the hysterical appearance that the previous Pseudo had shown after seeing the video, which was also a side proof that the Dr. Bruce in front of him was the real Dr. Bruce.

Confirming this, he then carried Karen into the clinic.

"Treat him first; he was bombed pretty badly last night."

Seeing this, Dr. Bruce also shook his head. "What… what has he been through…"

Xu Tong: "I don't know."

Dr. Bruce: "…"

Xu Tong: "Why are you looking at me? It couldn't have been me who bombed him, right?"

Ignoring Xu Tong's words, Dr. Bruce began to give Karen, who was bombed into a daze, some simple treatment and bandaging.

"Speaking of which," Xu Tong asked, "has anything strange happened in the clinic while we were away?"

Dr. Bruce didn't even raise his head, answering, "Yes."

Xu Tong: "What happened?"

Dr. Bruce rummaged in his pocket and took out something.

It was a vial smaller than a thumb, containing not a liquid but some kind of black gel.

It was just like… the substances left behind after a Pseudo died.

Xu Tong noticed a very strange thing. The vial that Dr. Bruce was holding in his hand was almost identical to the medicine that Dr. Bruce had described at the beginning, the one he and Karen were supposed to retrieve!

"This is… the medicine you wanted us to find at the beginning?"

Dr. Bruce nodded. "That's right."

Xu Tong remembered very clearly that the item description on the medicine box said that the vial inside had been taken away by a Pseudo.

If the Dr. Bruce in front of him was a normal person, then how did he get this vial?

"Where did you get it?"

Dr. Bruce used a very perfunctory excuse to brush it off. "A kind person gave it to me."

"A kind person? Normal people and Pseudos are looking for this thing. How can anyone believe a casual 'a kind person gave it to me'?" Xu Tong looked at the bottle in his hand. "Don't you suspect that the vial in your hand is fake?"

Dr. Bruce shook his head. "First of all, that person didn't let me tell you who they were; secondly, this vial of medicine is real. I can confirm that."

Xu Tong looked at Dr. Bruce, thought for a moment, and decided not to continue on this meaningless topic.

"Alright, now that you've got the vial, what are you going to do next? Weren't you going to use this vial to change the situation in Happy Town?"

"Yes, that's my purpose," Dr. Bruce met Xu Tong's gaze with an unprecedentedly firm look. "And to achieve this wish, a prerequisite is needed."

Xu Tong looked at him squarely. "Tell me, what condition."

Dr. Bruce reached out and pointed in the direction Xu Tong had come from.

"Take me to the Happy Town Hospital."

Xu Tong: "Are you crazy? I just came back from the hospital, and now you're telling me to go to the hospital? Are you not quite right in the head?"

Dr. Bruce shook his head. "No, there's a very important secret in the hospital. I need that as my prerequisite; otherwise…"

Dr. Bruce fell silent.

Xu Tong also fell silent.

But the reasons for their silence were different.

"Only this matter, it may not be possible."

Hearing Xu Tong say such a thing, Dr. Bruce showed a puzzled expression. "Listening to you, you should have returned safely from the hospital. Since that's the case, you should be familiar with the road. Why are you telling me it can't be done?"

Xu Tong: "I burned the hospital down with a fire."

Dr. Bruce: "? What did you say?"

Xu Tong: "I said I already burned the hospital down with a fire. The fire was huge, and half the night sky was lit up."

Dr. Bruce: "…"

Xu Tong: "…"

The two looked at each other, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After about several tens of seconds, Xu Tong then asked, "Besides this prerequisite, is there any other way?"

Dr. Bruce: "I don't know."

Xu Tong: "…"

The two were silent for a few more seconds.

But this silence was quickly broken because a knock came from the direction of the front door.

At this time, who else would come to the door?

After all, this is a clinic; it's not strange for someone to come for treatment. After all, Happy Town is relatively safe during the day, and even Pseudos won't easily kill people.

"Do people come to your clinic during the day?"

Dr. Bruce: "What kind of question is that? Aren't you a person?"

Xu Tong: "That's right."

Getting up, Xu Tong came to the door, preparing to open it for the guest.

But Xu Tong quickly realized that he still had to confirm whether the person outside was a Pseudo or not.

So Xu Tong looked outside through the peephole.

Then, Xu Tong's pupils dilated slightly.

Outside the peephole, he saw a familiar face.

Xu Tong saw that he himself was standing outside.
